I am a wrongly convicted sex offender. How do I live my life knowing I'm innocent?
I recently turned 21 and I must register as a sex offender for a crime I did not commit. I am heavily suffering for this. I am innocent and I had a choice. 18 years in prison, or 6 years of probation basically. I took the plea bargain because my family begged me too. In fact, I was going to take this to trial with the slight hope that the jury may find me innocent. However, even I knew the risk I would have taken and in my honest opinion, if I were the jury and the "victim" insisted I engaged in innapropriate activity with her, I just might agree on guilty. But I did not do this crime. And so I am desperately asking for help. I have lost my career in the national guard. My true pride and honor was serving in the national guard. I was a honor roll student and I am a loving and caring person to all. I do not hate the girl who accused me of this crime. I pray her conscious does not haunt her. Please, I need the advise.
